The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Forward aerial contends with Dash attack for Pichu's worst move, having minimal competitive use. It is largely unused in serious play due to high recoil damage, relatively high startup, and not launching the opponent. Other than experimentation or mind games, this move should almost never be used. It takes a minimum 9 frames for Pichu to be actionable after the final hit unless l-canceled, making its theoretical benefit of enabling a close ranged follow up virtually impossible on skilled opponents. Even if this move connects and is not punishable on hit, its reward is low without a follow up and its strong recoil exacerbates Pichu's atrocious survivability. Its no launch, multi hit nature can uniquely be taken advantage of to lower a recovering opponent away from the ledge, but this still significantly competes with Pichu's other options. | Forward aerial contends with Dash attack for Pichu's worst move, having minimal competitive use.
